Steemit Open Mic week 76: “The Banshee”
I hope you enjoy my version of the Irish tune “The Banshee” as performed on the CPVC Irish flute I crafted this last week! 🙃 If you’re interested in the flute build, see the links below. 👇🏻

Hello. I like the sound of your flute and you play very well. Greetings!
Thank you! I was quite pleased with how it turned out. I used to play the Irish flute (and its cousin the Irish tinwhistle) a LOT, but haven’t for quite a while. This has been a pleasant rediscovery. 🙂
Wow! Really? Did you make that flute? And you play it so well. I feel like having a pint now.
Yes! 🙃 I built it last week from CPVC (a grade of plumbing pipe rated for hot and cold water, i.e. food safe). It was a super fun project! I have a professional Irish flute made out of rosewood and sterling silver, but it is huge and given that my (small) children are at the “grabby” phase, it doesn’t get out of its case very often. This is far more durable. 🙂
I love that music n_n
Thank you!
